16. Issues to be discussed
Worldwide Application Database to be put online and integrated with a (or more) Science Gateway(s) → Eager users and good infrastructure are not always co-located → Use of the AAI created;
Define a common strategy of action, and related events, with GISELA in Latin America (the least «visited» region so far); continuous contacts have to be maintained with CLARA to define a road-map;
Actions to increase the number of responses to the survey; definition of a «plan B» in case the responses will be less than expected → Use of the Knowledge Base ?
Define CHAIN contributions to Ubuntunet Connect 2011 (Nairobi, November 2011); the dead line of the CfP is the 30th of June (500 words max);
Define CHAIN contributions to the EGI Technical Forum (Lyon, September 2011).
